For me it took awhile to get back to a baseline "not jittery" level. Sleepless nights, agitation, anxiety, cravings....
On top of that I had marital therapy, treatment, individual therapy, parenting, legal issues, and job loss. It was not easy in the beginning, but I just kept telling myself that I could get through the day and then DO it.
Glad you are here.
It WILL get better!

anewpage,
If you are feeling very unwell, get to the ER. Better safe than sorry. Have you let someone know how you are feeling? Everyone is different and withdrawing from alcohol can be dangerous.

Hi anewpage,
Hugs to you! Just remember that you are here, eventhough you are drinking today. It says a lot about your desire to be sober. It is so hard. Thanks so much for you honesty; it helps all of us as we are going through the same thing.
Is it possible for you to stop now? Cut your losses?
We are all here for each other. Feel better soon.

Sober, great to "meet" you! I am so happy to have a support thread here for moms. The guilt is overwhelming and I love having other people here who can relate. I love my children more than booze. I have to make the right choice.

If there is one thing I have learned from this board is that there is no judgement here, so I hope that for all of us even if we fall down, we will not give up and just keep holding each other up! Thank you Ladies!

So glad you started this thread! There is such a stigma to drinking moms - worse than any others, I think. I am so blessed to be the mom to 2 boys, 4 and 2. I stopped drinking in February and had a "slip" in April. But am so happy to be clear headed and present. I waited a long time to have these boys and I don't want to miss one more second because of being impaired or hungover.
Anyway, again, so glad to have this thread -- my boys are the reason I'm here. I know they say you have to do it and want it for yourself but I truly want to be the best mom I can for these two boys - they deserve nothing less.
